The International Skilled Worker - Occupations In-Demand sub-category of the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP) has closed for new applications, just one day after reopening for 1,200 new applications on August 9.
Through this 'base' SINP sub-category, which is not aligned with the federal Express Entry immigration selection system, eligible skilled workers with experience in an in-demand occupation can make an application for a provincial nomination certificate, which may then be followed by an application for Canadian permanent residence. Applicants do not require a job offer.
This SINP sub-category has reopened on three occasions so far in 2017.
Among other eligibility requirements, applicants must be highly-skilled in an in-demand occupation in the province. The current list includes 42 in-demand occupations across a range of industries, notably in engineering, trades, agriculture, health care, and IT. Twenty-three of these occupations require professional licensure from a designated organization before an application may be accepted. A full list of in-demand occupations can be found below.
